Crystal ReportViewer launches wrong app

The best way to describe the problem is this:

I have a Windows-based app, designed in Visual Basic .NET. In the application,
I have a form that contains a Crystal ReportViewer control, and that control
hosts a Crystal ReportDocument. The problem is this: When I lauch the report
in the ReportViewer, another application (completely unrelated to this one) starts on the same PC. This other unrelated application also uses embedded Crystal Reports.

Anyone out there encountered this problem before? I would really like to suppress this other application from starting. I can grab the process and kill it that way, but I don't want to have to do that. I really don't want this other app to start when I launch a report in my app.

Hi Ken,

Crystal forms problems are rarely answered in these dotNet newsgroups,
however I think that you have (although the ones who answers that do not do
that for the last times, I did not see them anymore) the most change on an
answer you have in my opinion beside crystal forms newsgroups in the
newsgroup

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

I hope you get your answer here or there.

I can't believe that there aren't lots of developers who: 1. create a crystal report that connects to sql server 2. calls the report using the crystalreportviewer control to view it and then, if appropriate, print it 3. tries to deploy that report to the client's database, but now it calls for a different database name Yet I can't get...

Hi, Just wondering what a good book is on visual studios 2008 ( or 2005 if no 2008 ) that teaches you how to properly use crystal reports with it. Or im assuming that as long as I can create a dataset and link it to a reportviewer than any Crystal Report book will do. I use vb.net but im assuming most books would show you vb and c
